a dusting of the white stuff

there's a part of me that wishes that subject line was about cocaine. instead, it's about snow. i opened the garage door this morning to go get the paper and was like, shit, i guess they weren't joking. it doesn't look like we got more than a dusting. hopefully we don't get anymore until i get back from the basketball game.

i did write 5 poems last night. i finally got the one that had been in my head for over a week out. i really like most of them. i figure i may do a round of submissions in the next week or so.

Vice News Tonight had another excellent week of reporting.

Vice Special Report: A House Divided was a pretty accurate portrayal of where the political system in this country is. the one subject that i wish was touched more was how much racism played into the paralysis over the last 8 years. i think you can see it now with how much the white politicians are salivating to wipe away the last 8 years as quickly as possible. i figure the next administration is going to be like George W. Bush's administration; loving war, hating taxes and not smart enough to know that you can't cut taxes and increase spending. hello recession.

NJPW was excellent last night.

i enjoyed Madonna: Rebel Heart Tour much more than i thought i was going to. i'm not exactly sure why. i do know i need to step out of my box every now and then and take part in the disposable world. it's good for my mental health, or at least that's what i am telling myself.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live, Austin City Limits and ROH.

i will probably also watch the MLS Final tonight between Seattle and Toronto.

the New York Rangers won 1-0 last night in OT in Chicago. they started the backup goalie for the second game in a row and the gamble absolutely paid off. both goalies last night were spectacular. this is a huge win for the Rangers, especially since they were playing on back to back nights. they next play on Sunday against New Jersey.

the Dayton Flyers play ETSU this afternoon. this should be a tough game, but hopefully Dayton can extend their winning streak.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

i will probably be on here tomorrow before the Manchester United game.
